[Energy dependence of glucose transport in Brevibacterium flavum cells]

Glucose transport by Brevibacterium flavum is accomplished against the concentration gradient without group translocation. The membrane electrochemical potential is presumed to serve as an energy donor in the process of glucose transport. Phosphorylation of glucose in the cells involves ATP and D-glucose-6-phosphotransferase. Glucose preservation in the cell is also an energy-dependent process.
